Despite the fact that I would normally slaughter stuff like this, the cars have a (justified) reputation.
With luck, the hi-fi stuff is designed around the same principles. However, and forgive me if I'm wrong, I suspect not.

Fair play, he has established a market (which few others have managed) and he's now going to stick a central line in and drain it for all it's worth.
IMHO, it devalues the product. But then who am I to comment. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to spend a few hundred thousand (or million) euros on something for the hell of it.

Expanding it into other areas is a natural progression. Personally, I wish him well.
